i wish my apartment could get a makeover every season like my wardrobe. next time we do a home makeover (maybe soon when we move to australia?) we will get neutral pieces so we can change our accents. below are some of my favorite fall living spaces inspired by some of my favorite fall fashions.

i'm back from australia, and while i'm no where near 100% set on moving there, of course i've already started planning what our home would look like. it's super tricky since we wouldn't be able to bring much (especially anything with a plug) so starting from scratch with a limited budget is DAUNTING. thank goodness, for aussi ikea.

getting my art to australia is going to be tricky. i don't want the glass to break. i'm inspired by this park avenue apartment in this month's house beautiful. with some crayons, newsprint and large ikea frames, i could do something similar. my recent trip to moorea has inspired me to do huge outlines of octopus drawings. six to eight closely hung drawings like the image below would be a cheap alternative and still make a big statement.

there are many design stores in melbourne, and i'm excited to post about them soon. in the meantime, has anyone ever moved abroad? any tips?
